BLOWING A GASKET; tiny seals for bottles

Little_Feet

I am an avid bottler. I need some new TINY rubber or silicicone seals-or gaskets as the Americans call them- for my oils and herb vinegar bottling this year. I use the flip top bottles. AS if KILNER replacements were not getting harder to find. These are impossible! These are very small, about 1.7cms in diameter with a 0.5cms diam hole. At the moment I am cutting my own out of Kilner seals, but this is decidedly UNTHRIFTY! I am at the end of my tether. Black rubber tap washers leave a nasty black residue so are no good. Can anyone help? Or can someone tell me a cheaper material to cut my own seals out of?
THANKS!!!!

I may have solved this one for myself! :jHaving tried everywhere for months, a lovely lady replied to me from a website called jamjarshop. She says she may have some very small seals in stock with a 0.5mm hole. I am going to order some, and I'll keep you posted.
I sincerely hope it'll put an end to my experimentation with tap washers, not a good look on a lovely bottle of home made basil oil!:eek:
By the lack of replies on this one I am either a moneysaver whose activities are totally boring or this is a problem which has stumped us all.

As promised, the update. The tiny bottle seals for flavoured oils and vinegars arrived today from the brillaint Rosemary at The Jam Jar Shop. She was great. :TFor anyone else who needs this info, the seals have a 5mm diameter hole.
Many Thanks!
